Poor lieutenant. Everyone is getting a kick out of this story and he's getting demoted. What a farce. If he was black, he would be praised like a Chad cop Chief. But he's white so we gotta ruin his life.
I don’t think he was demoted. When an NYPD cop (I know plenty of them personally) fucks up and the offense isn’t fireable, what they usually do is transfer them to a new command. This is referred to as “highway therapy.”
This cop lives in Orange County, so he probably only drives 25 minutes to work down in The Bronx. Now he has been transferred to Transit. Most likely somewhere in Queens, which will add another 25-30 minutes to his commute. Same with Staten Island. S.I. would probably add 40 minutes to his commute. Conversely, if a cop lives on Long Island, they’ll transfer him up to The Bronx. Not only do these transfers add to his travel time, but he also has to pay more bridge and tunnel tolls.
So he's demoted if he's transfered, no ?
No. Still a Lieutenant.
